Recession: exposure of the tooth via the apical migration of the gingiva is called gingival recession or atrophy. Pocket depth is the distance between the base of the pocket and the crest of the gingival margin. Miller’s classification of mobility: grade I (−0.2 < horizontal movement ≥ 1 mm), grade II (−1 < horizontal movement ≥2 mm), and grade III (2 < vertical or/and horizontal movement).
